They want to make government smaller, and get our spending under control. The left meanwhile wants more government bigger government.

I think that this is part of the root of the false equivalency. You are accepting the terms on the Norquist RW--"make government smaller, govt is too big." What Obama said is, I don't want bigger government or smaller government, I want smarter government. We can't have an intelligent dialogue about government about government when the RW just repeats the crap about "big government" without being specific. I can't think of anyone on the left who says, "I want bigger government"--that is just something that is ascribed to the left by the RW in their usual idiotic way.
